Colour The Night

Watch this space for plans towards Colour the Night 2019!

Colour the Night is Rotorua’s annual one-night Winter arts festival which sees arts and cultural spaces in Rotorua to open their doors for a night full of performance, music, and creativity. This event is for locals and visitors to explore central Rotorua for a night through an artistic lens. There are lots of things to see, new things to try, and lots of people to meet.

Information on the 2019 event will become available in early 2019 – please contact Frances on projects@artsvillage.org.nz if you would like to go one the mailing list as an artist, venue, volunteer, or partner for Colour the Night 2019.

Colour the Night for Matariki 2018 took place on Thursday 12th July, 2018 from 5pm in the central city. Information below relates to the 2018 event.

What is it?

Colour the Night is a one-night event for local arts, cultural groups, and organisations to open their doors for a cross-promotional night out to bring the public into arts spaces and celebrate Rotorua’s rich variety of culture.

We will be filling all participating venues with art, music, dance, fun, laughter and food. It is a great chance for local art and cultural groups to showcase what they are doing over winter. This event is for locals and visitors to explore central Rotorua through an artistic lens for FREE. There will be lots of things to see, new things to try and lots of people to meet. Grab your friends, family, coat, hat and scarf and come along to check it out!
